From the description of the Heavenly Fire Nine Heavens Manual, Ling Xiao understood that what he had mastered was the power of Heavenly Fire—not ordinary fire.
According to the classification of the powers of heaven and earth, Heavenly Fire was one of the top-tier elemental forces. It was far more powerful than advanced elements like Thunder.
Of course, what thrilled him even more was that his True Qi reserves had now increased to five times their original amount. That meant he could now freely unleash spells at the Mysterious Rank Mid Grade.
At the same time, he discovered that because his cultivation method was of the Heaven Rank Lower Grade, the recovery rate of his True Qi had reached several dozen times faster than before.
For his current self, it was almost impossible to exhaust his True Qi.
"My Level 2 Mount Mao Daoist Techniques can unleash double the power of Mount Mao arts. And now, with my True Qi strength having doubled, that means my True Qi is effectively four times stronger than others at my level!
With strength four times that of the norm at Second Heaven of the Earth Master Realm, even without using Heavenly Fire, I could easily defeat those at the Fifth or Sixth Heaven of the Earth Master Realm.
And if I add in the power of Heavenly Fire, even someone at the Eighth Heaven of the Earth Master Realm wouldn't be able to match me!"
Thinking this, Ling Xiao's eyes sparkled.
With such strength, even within Mount Mao, he would count as one of the top-tier powerhouses.
"Ding... Successfully learned Heavenly Fire Nine Heavens Manual, successfully comprehended the power of Heavenly Fire!"
As Ling Xiao's True Qi fully transformed, a notification echoed in his mind.
Without hesitation, he opened his status panel.

…………
Seeing his current attributes, Ling Xiao nodded in satisfaction. Of course, he hadn't upgraded his Healing Spell yet, since his Divine Tomb was about to level up soon.
He then opened Old Master Ren's stats.
………………

…………
Looking at these stats, Ling Xiao nodded slightly. They were already excellent—Uncle Nine would have a hard time handling this zombie, and might even lose.
"I'll keep Old Master Ren's Zombie outside for now. That Feng Shui master from back then will definitely return soon. Let's use this to lure him out first."
Ling Xiao's eyes gleamed as he waved his hand.
"Buzz!!!!"
With a ripple of space, Old Master Ren's transformed Zombie and coffin reappeared in the morgue.
He glanced at the time. It had only been a moment since he started his power-up.
And yet, in just that moment, his strength had undergone a complete transformation.
"Oh right, I almost forgot—Qiu Sheng is supposed to encounter a ghost tonight. Perfect. Time to meet the female ghost, Xiaoyu!"
As he saw the time, Ling Xiao suddenly remembered this plot point and began heading toward the front yard.
"Ow! You two brats dared to hit your master!!"
Just as Ling Xiao arrived, he heard a pained shout from Uncle Nine.
"Oh no, we hit Master!"
"It's your fault! You started it!"
Then, he saw Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng holding a broken broomstick, looking panicked as they ran out from the main hall and straight out of Potter's Field.
Uncle Nine, clutching his head, chased after them, but the two brats were already long gone.
"Master, what happened to you!? Why is there a bump on your head!?"
Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh as he asked.
"Cough cough, it's nothing. I accidentally bumped into something! Are you on night watch tonight? Thanks for your hard work. Call me if anything comes up!"
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Uncle Nine quickly composed himself and pretended nothing was wrong. He gave Ling Xiao a reminder, then turned and walked back to his room with his hands behind his back.
Of course, once he returned to his room, Uncle Nine immediately grimaced and held his head in pain.
"Those two brats... just wait until tomorrow, see how I deal with you!"
Uncle Nine snorted coldly. Good thing he was a practitioner at the Earth Master Realm. If he were an ordinary person, he might have ended up with a concussion—or worse.
…………
"Wow, it's so late at night—what if you run into a ghost? Are you really going?"
At the front gate, Wen Cai looked at Qiu Sheng in worry as he lit a bunch of incense and prepared to leave on his bicycle.
"I'd rather run into a ghost than deal with Master's punishment! Good luck to you."
After glancing at Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng pedaled off on his bicycle.
What he didn't know was that just as he left, a red light shot out from Potter's Field and struck him in the back.
………………
Along the way, Qiu Sheng hummed a little tune and pedaled without a care in the world, completely unconcerned about ghosts.
"Whoooosh whoooosh!!"
But as he passed through a small grove, cold wind suddenly blew around him.
Qiu Sheng shivered.
"Whoa! Why did the temperature suddenly drop like that!?"
He muttered a complaint but didn't think much of it and kept going.
"Whoooosh whoooosh!!"
What he didn't see, however, was that behind him, gusts of ghostly wind were swirling through the air.
At the same time, four little ghosts were carrying a red bridal sedan chair, swiftly gliding toward Qiu Sheng.
Chilling aura radiated from the sedan chair.
As it passed, every plant and tree along the road seemed to be coated in a layer of frost.
"Swish!!!!"
